Frequently Asked Questions
My wooden fence gate is sagging and dragging on the ground after the snow melted. What causes this, and can you fix it?
This is a common issue in Forest Lake after a heavy winter. The freeze-thaw cycle often shifts fence posts, and the added weight of snow and ice can loosen hinges or pull the gate frame out of square. We can fix this by re-setting or replacing the post, adjusting the hinges, or rebuilding the gate frame if the wood is warped or rotted. As part of our fence repair service, we’ll also rehang the gate so it swings freely and clears the ground evenly.
My automatic gate opener is making a grinding noise and won't fully close. Is this a sign of a major problem?
A grinding noise from an automatic gate opener usually indicates a worn gear, a failing motor, or debris caught in the track. It's a sign to get it checked before the opener burns out or the gate becomes stuck open, which is a security risk. Our automatic gate repair technicians will diagnose the cause—whether it’s a simple adjustment, a track obstruction, or a need for new parts—and get your gate working quietly and reliably again.
I want my metal fence to last longer against Forest Lake’s wet springs and cold winters. Do you offer any protective services?
Yes, we offer fence painting and staining, plus specific weatherproofing treatments designed for our local climate. For metal fences, we can apply a rust-inhibitive primer and a weather-resistant paint or sealant. For wood fences, we use stains with UV protection and water repellents. Regular weatherproofing prevents rot, rust, and warping, extending your fence’s lifespan significantly. Our team can also inspect and reinforce any weak spots as part of the service.
